MERFISHEYES enables browser-based visualization of 158 spatial transcriptomics datasets, including high-throughput 3D data, facilitating rapid exploration and sharing.
- Why it matters: Current tools are limited by large file sizes, specialized software, and intensive preprocessing, hindering quick access and collaborative analysis of spatial transcriptomics data.
- What they did: The platform offers interactive visualization, marker gene exploration, cross-dataset and cross-species comparison, and subcellular RNA localization, with easy sharing via browser links, using 158 datasets from the Brain Image Library.
- The result: MERFISHEYES streamlines data exploration and collaboration, supporting genome-scale imputation and high-throughput analysis, thereby advancing research in spatial transcriptomics.
